"And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer,
who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea,
his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to
drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation,
a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall."

I've been tagged...sorta

Patrick at Born Again Redneck had been tagged and rather than pass the tag onto specific people he said, "Now I'm supposed to name 5 or 6 people I want to know more about but I'm just going to tag anybody who reads this because I'd like to know more about everyone who reads my blog."

Well, since I read his blog on a regular basis, I guess I should consider myself tagged.

Here are the rules of this tag.

The rules:

1. The rules of the game get posted at the beginning.

2. Each player answers the questions about themselves.

3. At the end of the post, the player then tags 5-6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know they've been tagged and asking them to read your blog.

4. Let the person who tagged you know when you've posted your answer.

1) What was I doing 10 years ago?

2) What are 5 things on my to-do list for today (not in any particular order):

Grocery shopping

Pick up some things from my mom

Clean the kitchen

Do some laundry

Fix dinner

3) Snacks I enjoy:

Ritz crackers and cheese

Popcorn with lots of butter

Jumbo shrimp (cold with coctail sauce)

4) Things I would do if I were a billionaire:

-Buy the property behind my house. Plant lots of trees and install play areas for these kids.

-I would start a fund to help families torn apart by meth and other desctructive drugs.

-Buy a nice house for my parents or remodel (overhaul) their existing home because they wouldn't want to move from the house they have lived in for more than 40 years.

5) Three of my bad habits:*blogging*raising kids*striking up conversations with my retardo neighbor

I should put down what my hubby was doing 10 years ago...he was working for a computer game company writing code on Playstation games...that job was followed by writing code for Microsoft for the Xbox.

Dried squid? How come Japan wasn't on your "places lived" list then, phelonius? I always found it amazing to watch what some people were willing to eat, PROVIDED they had a cold brewski handy to wash it down with. ;-)

btw...I think it takes a certain kind of person to work in a funeral home. I knew a guy in the mountains of Virginia who owned the local funeral home, there. He was also a local christian minister. Neat guy!

I had not been back to visit that town for more than 15 years. A few years ago I had the chance to visit that small town again. When I got there I found that someone I had known from before had died and his funeral was that day.

It was good to see that same funeral home owner/minister doing his job.

BTW...I was not a member of his congregation, nor do I adhere to his faith, but I considered him a man of great faith.
